There is nothing better to fight the winter blues than music, and the perfect opportunity is happening this February when a four-day music festival will feature more than 100 artists.
Toronto’s popular mid-winter festival is back. Winterfolk XXIV will return to the Tranzac Club from Feb. 12 to 15, 2026, bringing four days of folk, roots, blues, and acoustic music to the heart of the Annex.
The long-running festival just unveiled a partial lineup featuring some fantastic performers and launched advance ticket sales.
This year’s festival features a mix of returning favourites and rising voices, with artists such as Ariana Gillis, Shakura S’Aida, Russell deCarle, Kevin Breit, Donné Roberts, The Young Novelists, Jory Nash, Jessica Stuart, and dozens more already confirmed. Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
